Pancakes are such a classic breakfast item! I wanted to create a pancake recipe that was nutritionally dense, but also versatile in the way you can flavor them. Feeling like having something light and refreshing this morning? Try the blueberry lemon. Want something decadent and “naughty”? Have chocolate chip peanut butter. Or if you’re just feeling like a ‘Plain Jane’, stick to the original recipe without any of the additives. Just be sure to top any of these with some delicious maple syrup!

INGREDIENTS:
(makes about 8 large pancakes)
2 chia eggs (see “Simple Staples”)
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
1.5 cups plant milk of your choice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (use a gluten-free flour blend to make recipe GF)
BLUEBERRY LEMON :
Blueberry chia jam (see “Simple Staples”)
1/2 cup blueberries
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
Lemon zest
1/2 cup blueberries
CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER:
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
Top with extra chocolate chips and peanut butter drizzle
- Make chia eggs (mix chia seeds & water), then set aside
- In a separate bowl, add your plant milk and apple cider vinegar and mix. Then add the vanilla and maple syrup.
- In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pinch of salt, and mix. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, then mix in the chia egg.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop batter into the pan (using about 1 large ladle full per each pancake). Add other ingredients such as lemon zest and blueberries, or chocolate chips.
- Allow the first side to cook for about 5 minutes or until the edge of the pancake is dry, and the top is covered in bubbles. Flip and cook for another minute or so.
- Top with your choice of toppings!
This recipe is super versatile and you can really get creative with the flavors of pancakes!
Tip: throw these in a freezer bag or airtight container with parchment paper in between each pancake. Whenever you want some pancakes, just take them out and pop them in the toaster! Voila!
